T. Yuba et al., DIRECT OBSERVATION OF PHASE-SEPARATION IN LB FILM COMPOSED OF POLYAMIC ACID LONG ALKYL AMINE SALTS BY USING FRICTION FORCE MICROSCOPE (FFM), Chemistry Letters, (9), 1993, pp. 1635-1636
The surface of a LB film of polyamic acid long alkyl amine salts, cons
isted of a mixture of aromatic and aliphatic polyamic acids, was obser
ved by means of friction force microscopy (FFM). The LB film having 11
layers gave no significant pattern by atomic force microscopy (AFM),
whereas clearly phase separated morphology was observed by using FFM.
